I couldn't get TinyTwitter to connect, but TwitterBerry works fine for me. There seems to have been a reply function added since Dietcoke's original post, and there's an option to set how often you receive updates. Thanks to everyone for app suggestions!

is there any way to get twitterberry to use wifi on 8820? using autodetect or tcp options in version 0.8 it always says network request failed. bb os version 4.2

Not sure about that, it works for me on both. I have wifi set as preferred and I assume it uses that when I am in the house.

I'm spending more time on Brightkite these days though. Find it more useful with threaded discussion and easy photo posting etc.
Just wish there was a blackberry application for it. Have to use the mobile website at present.

I use GoogleTalk with Twitterspy. Twitterspy isn't something you down load. Basically you get and send your IMs to/through Twitterspy. Basically Twitterspy shows up as one of your IM contacts in Google Talk. It isn't like having a full twitter client but you can send your tweets and subscribe to keywords (like the Twitter track that has been broken for ages). So you subscribe to your twitterusername and if people talk to/about you they will show up on your GoogleTalk. I don't mind this because when mobile the whole twitter stream isn't really necessary to me.

Twitterberry works fine on my 8310 curve and I also get Tunnel timed out error message of TinyTwitter which looks like the better app out of the two - any help would be appreciated

I was getting the tunnel error on my tinytwitter for a little while too. For me it turned out to be my apn settings. I have an unlocked storm on att and the settings were still set to verizon. So it definitely has something to do with you internet connection.

Thanks for the reply - I will download again and check the internet settings.

I downloaded Tiny Twitter, however, I noticed a few things: The BB menu key does not bring up the menu. The space bar does. Sometimes, the app is unresponsive. Is anyone else experiencing these problems? I'm running version 2.1.9

I also have an unlocked 8310. I wanted to try the TinyTwitter and also received the tunnel error. Anyone know how to fix this? I know someone mentioned the internet settings, but nothing specific about what I would need to change.
